Notes

Formerly MO121.; Hand-written in pencil on back of photoprint: The Monti Block. This two-story frame building, at the hub of town, Fifth and Alpine Streets, is one of Georgetown's earliest business blocks and was erected in 1867. Now occupied by a railroad museum which has a scale model of the famed Georgetown Loop, the exterior of the building has been painted over to obliterate the Cresto and Valentine Sign, long a chuckle-getter from visitors an local citizens. Hand-written in ink: Corner of the Monti Block, 1951, Georgetown, Colorado.; Photoprint has a small amount of tape adhesive on the back.; Stamped on discarded glassine negative sleeve: MOSS Photography, 617 HOWARD ST., S.F.; Title supplied by cataloger.; R7100012977
